Effectiveness of eQIU Learning Management System (LMS) on University Students Satisfaction

Abstract

Purpose: Initiating an LMS is an educational change that may seem technically simple yet socially complex. This study aimed to explore students’ satisfaction with the university’s eQIU LMS and their perception of eQIU LMS’s effectiveness impact on their academic achievement.
 Methodology: A qualitative interpretive methodology was employed by interviewing six QIU students with semi-structured interviews. The study findings were analyzed based on a modified theoretical framework of the Delone and McLean Information System Success (D&M) Model.
 Findings: The findings revealed that students were mostly satisfied with eQIU LMS; however, they perceived that eQIU’s effectiveness had a moderate impact on their academic achievement. For an effective LMS implementation, the study emphasizes empowering students to voice their needs and participating in the decision-making process of developing eQIU LMS.
 Implications: So it is concluded that more investigation should be done on students’ engagement with LMS technology and the role of LMS technology in inclusive education.

Beyond Storage: Evaluating the Utilization of Learning Management Systems in Higher Education

“…Our study diverges from the insights of Mohamed & Vengrasalam (2022), who emphasize a lack of effective implementation models for LMS. While their findings are crucial, our study contributes an additional layer of understanding by illustrating that the sheer complexity and abundance of LMS features can be overwhelming for users, thus hindering engagement with more sophisticated functionalities.…”

“…The potential of LMS to revolutionize teaching methodologies is vividly explored in the works of Palahicky & Halcomb-Smith (2020) and Mohamed & Vengrasalam, (2022). While Palahicky & Halcomb-Smith, (2020) advocate for transformative power through case-based and gamified learning, Mohamed & Vengrasalam, (2022) propose a structured implementation model, emphasizing a systematic approach to harnessing LMS's educational benefits. This juxtaposition reflects a transition in LMS research from recognizing potential to seeking structured, actionable strategies for its integration into teaching practices.…”
